The landscape around Oakley is a low-lying mosaic of Delta waterways, marshes and farmland, which has shaped both the city’s outward growth and local economy. Set on the eastern edge of Contra Costa County, Oakley forms part of the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, where levees, tidal channels and open water define the setting more than the hills associated with much of the East Bay. Big Break Regional Shoreline provides access to marsh habitat and a broad reach of Delta water. Incorporated in 1999, Oakley has grown from an agricultural community into a suburban city.
